    Fresh from Earth’s New York Colony, Young Mathias has been hired on a merchant ship and is working for an
    ex-mercenary, Pinjour, who specializes in selling stolen goods for a high profit. When a group of alien traders
    called the Cojj discover a Data Drop, an object that contains valuable information, on Pinjour’s ship, they
    convince Mathias to use a device to analyze the object.  Pinjour, however, catches him and is making Mathias
    help him sell it to an unknown buyer.

    Escaped from a conquered planet, pregnant Hopelock seeks the help of a bounty hunter named Linkfall to help
    her save her imprisoned husband. Linkfall is on the case of a reptilian criminal and can’t help her until he realizes
    that his mission will involve Hopelock and her husband.

    Three different missions, three different objectives, one destination. Dangers beyond belief, corrupt criminals,
    and a great galactic evil will forever entwine these people’s destinies, but will they be able to save a conquered
    world and themselves or will the galaxy become the next target?

    This action-packed, mystery-filled adventure is unique. The plot is well-developed and the author does a great
    job of keeping the reader’s attention. The characters are entertaining and easy to relate to. The outer space
    setting is well-portrayed and fits the book well.

    Readers who like adventure, outer space, and science fiction stories will enjoy reading this book. REPTILIAN
    REBIRTH is an excellent read for avid and reluctant readers alike.
